HRM is the part of management (or the function of management) concerned with the 'people' dimension, staffing, training development, motivation and maintenance of employees. HRM is about recruiting and selecting the best staff, determining the duties they undertake, what they should be paid and what opportunities they can be given. It is also concerned about issues such as equal employment opportunity, employee health and safety and employee and labour relations. HRM is about people achieving organisation goals. Opportunities exist for Human Resource practitioners to work as consultants, recruitment officers, personnel or human resource officers, employee relations officers, training and development officers as well as project officers. These positions also lead to management and directorial roles in organisations across all industries. The Bachelor of Management is recognised by the Australia Human Resources Institute. Students undertaking the Human Resource Management major at the University of Ballarat and who join the Australian Human Resource Institute are assigned a mentor by the Institute to guide their professional development.
